Thumbs up Goodwin Speaks

Some quotes from a <a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/law/020701/03508-5.html" target="_blank">Yahoo! article</a>:

Quote:
"I never had much confidence in the attention span of elected officials for any kind of deep thinking about
important issues," Goodwin said. "When they pop off after what I call a bumper strip headline, they almost
always give a superficial response."

"I'm a little
disappointed in our chief executive -- who nobody ever accused of being a deep thinker -- for popping
off."

Goodwin pointed out that he won the Combat Infantry Badge in World War II, and remembers that on the belt buckles of dead
German soldiers was an inscription claiming God was on the German side.
